KJV Jonah 1 2

1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

2 and said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, And he heard me; Out of the belly of hell cried I, And thou heardest my voice.

3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; And the floods compassed me about: All thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: The depth closed me round about, The weeds were wrapped about my head.

6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with her bars was about me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: And my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

8 They that observe lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.

9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
